1793 *In the seas of trend . . .
A farmer, a bloody farmer! Knee-deep in dung and fathoms from the nearest port, Alan Lewrie, swashbuckling naval warrior changed family man, dreams about battle. And when it comes, a fight royal it is! Called to the H.M.S. Cockerel, a luxurious frigate captained by a malaria-stricken tyrant, First Officer Lewrie soon vaults to order, taking Cockerel from the lush pleasures of the Kingdom of Naples to a smoking cauldron called Toulon. There, an outnumbered coalition of previous enemies has been drawn into an awful land-sea fight against the brand new French *in a siege of bloodstream and terror that will send surprise waves about the world. . . .
He's fought and adored on land and bounding sea from America to the East Indies. Alan Lewrie is the remarkable hero-rogue of age wooden-walled, spray-lashed fighting with each other ships.
